CAN'T IMPROVE ON NATURE
People who live in glass houses
should undress in the basement. This
serves to Introduce the thought that
we laugh 'at ridiculous practices In
others, yet go serenely along ignoring
them in our own affairs.
Personal adornment is an instinct
deep rooted in all life. The animals
of the fields preen themselves and
seek in every way possible to keep
their feathers or (heir fur or 'their
hair beautiful.
But the doslre to be beautiful Is
not confined to the lower animals.
Humans have tho Instinct in rare de
gree. Sometimes it is prevertod. The
women of the South Soa islands and
. the men too, loop rings in their noses
and their ears and thosi who wish to
appear especially allu. hg put sticks
in their ears and noses. A most gro
tesque effect is thus obtained.
The poor savages think themselves
most beautiful and we laugh at them
contemptuously, saying tho poor
heathens know no better than to bo
liovo that spoiling their appearance
gives them beauty.
Among many tribes of the earth
tattooing la pructlced. The man or
the woman who has the most paterni
lndellibly written into his or her skin
is considered the most houutlful.
They think themselves beautiful
and wo laugh ut thorn contemptuously,
saying the poor HUVftgeB know no bet
tor than to bollovo that spoiling their
uppearnnco gives them beauty.
Coming right down to facta, it
seems sacrilegious to deface the form
and features God has given His poo
pie. Wo are trying, It would seem, to
improve on tho handiwork of tho Al
mighty. There Is nothing so boautirul
as tho human form. Artists anil lov
ers of beauty sense this ami offer
statues und pulntlngu of nude studies
bocuuBo they embraco tho lust word
in highest beauty,
'Nothing ever devised by man Is us
wonderful or us beautiful as the an
num form. All Inventions have their
counterpart in tho human body and
beauty of body has inspired some of
tho greatest literature of all ages. De
sire for beauty Ima mude men in all
climes do mlruculous things to show
the women they loved that they were
(It to be given a feminine smile.
Yes, wo laugh at the poor savages
who disfigure themselves seeking
beauty. However, practices us Idiotic
and as foolish among ourselves we
condone or ignore. Uiughtor for the
oiie, praise of a kind tor tho other.
Some American women, prompted
oy the desire to bo beautiful seek to
Improve on nature, They daub rouge
on their lips. Thuy do not know that
a red blooded man Is nauseated by
thlh vile paint. What art can Improve
on ruby red lips, soft us rose petals,
wnrm as tropic night.
Indeed, recently, women In quest
ot beauty huvu done scandulou
things to their eyebrows. While wo
are on the matter ot eyebrows, It la
well to remark that some mea have
been sprouting eyebrows on their up
per lips. This, too, has come about iu
the quest for beauty.
Women today aren't content with
their own couiplailona. They mutt
buy coaaplexloas ay the box at the
. drug store, They think they can Im
prove on nature They may, through
, observ,ns ,the rulea of hea,th- c,ear
up tneir complexions ana mus aau 10
their beauty, but they can't do much
by daubing on a cover to hide the im
perfections.
Oh, yes, powder in reason is all
rlgnt But t 8houldnt be used in thick
I
I layers and it shouldn't be so powerful
ly scented as to neutralize an onion
or a moonshine breath.
Then there's the matter of hair
Some women these days have come to
the conclusion that they can improve
on nature and thus acquire a certain
beauty. They don't' like the color of
their hair. So they hie themselves
out and procure dye stuffs and honnn
and set about making nature appear
as she isn't.
It is quite common for girls to
change the color of their hair now as
often as they change their style of
frocks.
We wonder if the savages of the Pa,
cific isles who mutilate themselves in
quest of beauty wouldn't laugh up
roarously and long at the attempts of
civilized women to win beauty by try
ing to improve on nature by paint and
powder and dyes.
At any rate our women have no li
cense to laugh at the poor dwellers on
Pacific isles for adorning their noses
and ears with sticks and rings.
People who live in glass houses
should undress In the basement.

THE FORUM
Waplnitia, April 1.
Editor, The Chronicle: Just a let
ter to show appreciation for the "fly
ing squadron" of The Dalles.
The delegation of business men who
flooded the county with encourage
ment and good cheer on their whirl
wind trip of this week, took Waplnitia
plains by storm. After their arrival at
'Waplnitia they clrcum-uutomoblled
the plains, visiting the headquarters
of the Waplnitia Irrigation company
and inspecting portions of the canal
distribution system. Thence they vis
ited various farms and returned to
the school house ut 4 o'clock, where
a representative body of live wires
and club directors awaited their com
ing. In a few minutes all the old time
doubts und prejudices were subdued
by the big guns, shot by President H.
S. Hice and Secretary E. P. Van
Schoick, loaded with facts.
The now, acceptable medium of ex
change Introduced by T, H. West und
L. Bnrnitm, is cooperation, which will
unlock the flood-gates of Wasco coun
ty's treasuros. John G. Odell, district
manuger of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber
company, used "Dimension Stuff," in
laying the foundation for tho enlarg
ed organization. N. A. Bonn, of tho
titadelman-Bonn Hardware company,
pointed up tho structure with the well
tempered steel of confidence und un
derstanding. Responsive addresses wore deliver
ed by J. 8. iBrown, president of tho
AVnpinltla Plains Commercial Club,
und J. 1. West, K. E. Miller and others,
urging endorsement of the now cham
ber. It is like seating a hungry man
ut a freo dinner to offer tho county
at largo one half to two-thirds of the
directors of the Wasco county organ
ization. Since The Dulles has volun
tarily assumed the $5000 popular sub
scription budget, and boiuo 400 mem
bers out of the BOO objoctlve have
now responded from The Dalles, all
possible fear of ulterior or selfish mo
tives must needs vanish from the out
lying points. The saving of The
Dulles-California highway and its
early construction Is a major oxamplo
of the neod and usefulness ot a
strong county organization, to cope
with county and later-county prob
lems.
On Saturday, April 2, at the regutar
commercial club meeting, a diroctor
will be named to represent Waplnitia
Plains Commercial Club.
